In this weeks edition of Speaking of Settlements, Mark Wahlstrom, the Arizona structured settlement expert discusses what he feels is going to be the coming boom in the use of structured legal fees to safely and securely allow lawyers to defer income into future years. You can learn more about Mark Wahlstrom and his firm www.wahlstromandassociates.com by clicking here. Structured attorney fees are funded with annuity contracts and are designed to move current income into future years, at which time it is taxable income in the year which it is paid. This planning tool allows lawyers to fund pension contributions, lower tax rates, smooth out income and all kinds of other planning options, but they must be entered into with the assistance of a structured settlement expert who knows and understands how to design a structured legal fee.

The Do Nothing Machine, built by Lawrence Wahlstrom, plus stationary engines by Rudy Kouhoupt at the end. Craftsmanship Museum, Carlsbad, CA.nnFrom the museum website at www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com - According to a newspaper article (paper unknown) from about the early 1960's, the inventor of this engineering marvel was Lawrence Wahlstrom, a retired clock maker. He worked in the newspaper business and for the telephone company, while also acting as caretaker and landscape gardener for a Beverly Hills estate for 40 years. He always enjoyed tinkering with clocks and had attended a clock school to learn about their repair. Somewhere along the line he acquired a fascination for gears. After coming across a surplus WWII bomb sight containing a complicated cluster of gears, he got it working again. He also realized that people prefer to be entertained rather than educated, so he began adding more and more gears to his assembly over a 15-year period starting in about 1948. The first known publicity photo of it appeared in 1950.nnOver the years, the number of gears continued to grow, reaching either 744 or 764 depending on which account you read. Like the motion of the machine, the actual figure is somewhat fluid. It attracted a lot of media attention over the years, appearing in magazine articles and on TV shows. It was seen on both the Art Linkletter show and the Bob Hope show. The family archives also contain a telegram arranging for Mr. Wahlstrom to appear on the Garry Moore show in November, 1954. Life Magazine gave it a full page in the April 20, 1953 issue, and Popular Mechanics gave it ½ page coverage in the February, 1954 issue. In February, 1955 it was also featured in Mechanix Illustrated magazine. There were also many other newspaper and magazine articles documenting its constant evolution.nnCalled by its inventor variously a "Flying Saucer Detector" or other nebulous and facetious descriptions, his goal was to add at least 50 gears each year to the constantly growing project. As noted in Popular Mechanics in 1954, "We all know someone who works harder doing nothing than most of us work doing something, but we can't possibly know anything that works harder at nothing that a machine built by a California hobbyist. The machine has over 700 working parts that rotate, twist, oscillate and reciprocate—all for no purpose except movement."nnAt some point after the Do Nothing machine came into the possession of the Antique Steam and Gas Museum in the Joe Martin Foundation's home town of Vista, CA. It was put up for auction, where Mr. Wolf purchased it in about 2003, repaired it and for years took it to several shows a year for the public to enjoy. Less

Join the PLGRMAGE: nhttps://www.facebook.com/plgrmagenhttps://twitter.com/plgrmagenhttp://instagram.com/plgrmage/ennAcross the Summer of 2013/14, PLGRM endeavour to share the unique stories of some Australia's most interesting, and forward thinking Independent Music Festivals. Through the eyes of the organisers, the artists and the punters, an exploration will be made into the genetic make up of each festival and how the different environment, music and ethos of each event influences and shapes the culture of each unique festival experience.nnEpisode 1: Strawberryfields. After 5 years of progression from a small, boutique rave in the countryside of Tocumwal breathing the typical sounds and energy of a trance infused bush doof, Strawberryfields has increasingly developed into an eclectic gathering of all things electronic, where the Wildlands have become a melting pot for party goers from Victoria and NSW to meet at the state border for 3 days of love, escape and connection. nnFeaturing the likes of Tiga, Moodymann, Carl Craig, KiNK, Finnebassen, Extrawelt, Moomin, Wankelmut, Tin Man and upcoming Melbourne band Jakubi, PLGRM endeavours to present the magic behind one of Australia's most talked about, rated and respected Electronic Music Festivals. nnCredits:nProduced by: Kristian Michail, Ned Donohoe, Themba WahlstromnExecutive Producer: Ben Ansell, Campbell Ferguson, Rory Brown, Evan GoughnCamera: Themba Wahlstrom, Rory Brown, Ben Ansell, Campbell Ferguson, Duncan JacobnCinematography: Michael Lincoln, Themba Wahlstrom, Rory BrownnEditor: Kristian Michail, Themba Wahlstrom, Rory BrownnnSoundtrack Listing (By order):nHot Chocoloate - Cadillac (The Revenge Rework)nMoomin - DoobiesnMinilogue - The Leopard (Extrawelt Remix) Less
